    Found at least one very large beetle in my gecko's tank

    Hello everyone, I noticed tonight that I haven't seen my gold dust day gecko out and about like I normally do for the past 2 days. Like I haven't seen him at all. Now, keep in mind he's in a 12x12x18, but it's completely bioactive and has grown in like a jungle, so finding him when he doesn't...

    P.Grandis enclosure setup

    I have experience with a Gold Dust Day Gecko, the only difference from the P. Grandis being that it is smaller. I highly recommed adding in slanted/horizontal branches or bamboo (bamboo is best) for your gecko, as they really don't seem to like traveling along the ground whatsoever, in fact I've...

    My gecko bites me

    Hello, I've had my Crested Gecko for about a week and a half now, and in order to get him tame I've been trying to handle him at least once a day. However, the past 3 days or so, occasionally when I go to get him he squeaks, or sometimes squeaks and bites me. The bites don't hurt at all (just a...

    Is an 18x18x24 too big for a baby/juvenile?

    Ok well, so far I've received one answer saying it's too big because it won't find food and another saying it's fine. I'm going to compromise between the answer since I don't have a smaller tank other than Tupperware, so I'll just put food in the magnetic ledge I already have, I'll add some on...

    Is an 18x18x24 too big for a baby/juvenile?

    Hello everyone, Today for my birthday I recieved a crested gecko. He's (or she's) absolutely awesome! I got him from Josh's frogs, and they said he was hatched on 5/11/19 and weighed 3.3 (maybe it was 3.6) grams on 7/30/19. I just unboxed him like 10 minutes ago and put him in his tank, but that...

    What else should I know before getting my Crested Gecko?

    Hello everyone, I've been able to obtain an 18x18x24 enclosure and I've decided to get a crestie to stock it. I think I already have a great understanding of their care as I have a day gecko who's care is very similar minus some differences in heating/lighting and humidity, and I've already...

    Can I introduce a female Gold Dust Day Gecko to an enclosure with an established male

    Hello everyone, I've had my male gecko for almost a year now and he seems to have reached peak size. I am considering breeding gold dust day geckos so I was wondering if I could purchase a female and introduce her to the tank with the male already having been in it for a year? If this won't...

    Springtails

    Hey everyone, I've recently redone my Gold Dust Day Gecko's terrarium and now it's a bioactive vivarium. Well, kind of. I've got the live plants in and I ordered a culture of springtails from Josh's Frgos but they all arrived dead. I called Josh's Frogs and asked for a new culture which arrived...

    Need a better heat bulb for Gold Dust Day Gecko!

    Hello everyone, I currently have two different bulbs in use inside my exo terra 12x12x18. I am using a 13 watt exo terra 5.0 uvb bulb that I plan on replacing with a reptisun 5.0 13 watt, and I have a zoo med daylight blue 40 watt for heat. That heat bulb keeps the basking spot in the high 90's...

    Updated Gold Dust Day Gecko Terrarium!

    Hello everyone, After nearly 2 months of growing cuttings, I was finally able to plant some pothos into my Gold Dust Day Gecko's enclosure. I planted them directly into the eco earth, even though it has low nutrients because I heard pothos doesn't need much. I think it looks pretty decent for my...

    Is it possible to tame a gold dust day gecko?

    Hey again everyone, I was wondering if it was possible to tame my gecko to the point where he could sit on my hand calmly or at least not run away when I open his enclosure to mist it? Now, I am aware of the warnings that day gecko skin is very fragile and that they're skittish, but I was...

    New Gold Dust Day Gecko Questions.

    Thank you for answering again! I will change out the bulb for the Reptisun as soon as this one burns out. About keeping the drainage layer wet, I pour water into the cage twice a week, the water goes straight to the drainage layer of hydroballs and you can see the water there. The actual eco...

    New Gold Dust Day Gecko Questions.

    Thank you for responding! I will definitely look into that care guide. As of now, is my setup good? Also, I’ve been seeing some slight dents in the cgd, does that mean he’s eating? Also I think I see poop. I will attach a picture so you can confirm if it is or isn’t. Thanks

    New Gold Dust Day Gecko Questions.

    I'm trying to get my question answered on this forum because I seems much more active than the others I have been on. So, I ordered my gold dust day gecko last Wednesday and received it from Snakes at Sunset Thursday morning. I set up his cage according to all the care guides I've read over the...
